Exploring the BIGGEST PROBLEMS in EVERY Dragon Ball GT Saga

[@IAmGrootFrom63rd]

My only issue was in the Shadow Dragon arc. It’s 7 dragons, I feel like the other characters could’ve had shine and broke up into groups to collect the dragon balls

[@ncrveteranranger4454]

The dragons couldve been better too, and 3 of them didnt have to be a one and done villain

[@joseurbina3835]

It's why SmugStick's What If Dragon Ball Videos were not only Enjoyable, but they make way better Ideas than GT did.

[@My_Master_Waves]

Most definitely. When I was watching gt with my brother, he even said Gohan is going to fight some shadow dragons. What happened next was lame as none of the other characters were there to fight any shadow dragons.

[@kevinlee9929]

Not only that. But most of the Dragons weren't any real threat and got dealt with rather easily.

[@riordanandrew5538]

That's a really good point. I really want Trunks and Goten to have character time, but they never do anything.

[@MagmaMKII]

GT's ending is perfect. Not only it brings the whole story full circle by making Shenlong the ultimate enemy, it also gives a conclusion to Goku's journey which harkens back to Journey to the West, with him ascending to a higher plane of existence.

But author hates this ending so this is non canon

[@TheMissingLink2]

@@sharikkhan4211 Akira Toriyama is on the record saying that he LIKES GT. Also, he supervised the production of the series and drew the concept art for most of the characters. One of the few things he DIDNT design was Super Saiyan 4, which is ironically the only design from GT that is universally accepted by all fans. You guys either need to stop lying or actually do some real research into the dragonball series. GT IS canon. It is the very REAL ending to the anime adaptation of the Dragonball story.

[@sharikkhan4211]

@TheMissingLink2 so why he created super

[@TheMissingLink2]

@@sharikkhan4211 He didn't create Super. Toei created Super. He did the exact same shit with Super he did with Z and GT. A supervisory role and contributed to the story with plot details, except he did FAR LESS work than before; damn near nothing. Famously, in an interview, he laughed his ass off about how he didn't have to work anymore. Moreover, he later was upset that Super was trash, and said he thought he didn't have to be as involved anymore but came in because he wasn't happy with the quality. Both of these statement can be verified through interviews that you can find on the internet. The first being for the Battle of the Gods movie. The second later after Super came out and it was being shredded by critics for lacking quality. Conversely, he started working on a manga adaptation of Super with Toyotaro to tell the events how he more so wanted to tell them. However, Toyotaro was truly the one at the helm, as he says in interviews that Toriyama only ever gave him plot detail outlines and he had to develop the story by himself. Toriyama long ago said he didn't want to be remember as the dragonball guy. And left the series for decades. He only came back because it was BY FAR his greatest bread winner and he could make buckets of money off it while being a lazy piece of shit. And this is true. I thank him for the world he created, but I'm not blinded by nostalgia. He is far from a perfect man. I'm so adamant about this because a lot of people don't realize that A LOT of stuff they LIKE about dragonball was contributed by someone else, other than Toriyama. And a lot of stuff they HATE about dragonball was contributed by him. For example, the episodes in the Z anime where Goku and Piccolo get licenses. People for the longest time thought this was nothing but stupid filler. Ironically that whole thing was the brain child of AT himself because he thought it was funny and he kept pestering Toei to include it. On the opposite side, Androids 16,17,18 and Cell all came about because his editor at the time thought Androids 19 and 20 were lame and ugly and made HORRIBLE villains for the arc. So Toriyama went back to the drawing board and progressively made 17 and 18, then 16, then finally Cell and his progressive forms. People absolutely LOVE the android and cell arcs; however, they wouldn't even exist if his editor didn't force his hands to change the story. And that's just one example of many things. And that's my point, what does "canon" even mean when A LOT of the stuff that makes a story great, comes from everyone but the author himself? What does "canon" mean, when said author literally ABANDONS their work because they are tired of being associated with it and doesn't want it to be their legacy, so they just drop it and have no interest in finishing the story? What does "canon" mean, when that author sits in a studio and laughs their ass off about how they can be lazy and doesn't have to do shit with the world they created because they have others working on it for them??? That IS NOT the actions or mindset of someone who _truly_ cares about that work. So as far as I'm concerned, GT is the end of draognball, because damn near all the writers and animators from the Z series came together and finished the series, writing the ending to the story Akira Toriyama didn't care to do . But moreover, got his blessing to do it, he supervised it, did character designs, reviewed the plot/story, and he's on the record saying that he likes it and it is the end of the story if you want it to be. You guys can hate all you want, but classic dragonball ended damn near 30 years ago in 1996 with GT. This new shit is not the same dragonball at all.b It is a cash grab and only such. And now that AT is dead, it will only be bastardized more.

[@javaughndouglas3641]

​​@@TheMissingLink2You're just blatantly lying. Toriyama contributed nothing to GT outside of a handful of character designs. He had absolutely zero, zilch, nada to do with its plot. They didn't even ask for his input on that end. They had too many different people writing the story for each episode, which is why the writing could be clunky and inconsistent. While they're both made for money, GT's is directly more egregious because it's literally just Toei trying to keep the timeslot of DBZ, their creators literally said this. In Super, Toriyama was the one at the helm. Both Toei and Toyotaro were tasked to make interpretations of the story beats he wrote, neither one held inherent preference, Toei was just faster. It's the entire reason that Goku is "stupid", because that's Toriyama's vision of who Goku is. He literally calls GT "a side story". While Toriyama didn't hate GT, he clearly had his preferences, at least plotwise towards Super. As for Battle of Gods, he wrote a good chunk of it, and was directly requested for supervision on it. He was even more involved with RoF, being the script writer for the entire thing. And Broly and Super Hero is basically peak Toriyama, being the one who made the story, screenplay, script and character designs. We all know why the first arcs of Super was bad, it was rushed animation wise because it was just a rehash of the two movies that Toriyama made with more details. Toriyama is the one who wrote the story beats for Dragon Ball Super. He chose to do it. He's the one that basically went out of his way to remove GT from canon. It's funny that you bring up the cars episode as things people hate because that's the most praised filler in Dragon Ball. We just also acknowledge that it's filler. If we're gonna get pedantic about it, Dragon Ball ended in 1995 when Goku flew off with Uub, an ending that Super at least has the respect to not overstep. GT is just a shameless cashgrab, though I'll admit I'm a sucker for the ending (though GT didn't earn it in my opinion, as said, that could have been DBZ's ending and nobody would have batted an eye). Everything in Super happens before the "true ending" and has Toriyama's stamp of creative vision so honestly it has more credibility to say it's canon over GT, objectively. Can we stop this pretense of trying to establish GT as the primary ending? The primary ending, as of current is Goku leaving with Uub. Unless Daima contradicts it, Super is established to hold primary canonicity. It just is what it is, whether you like GT more or not.

[@harbour08]

the designs in GT though are still my favorite

[@Wutizgoing]

I disagree with a lot of your points. Back Star Saga - I personally think the tones worked fine. My real issue is the inconsistent screen time when it came to them visiting worlds. Some lasted a decent while, where we got to learn about the inhabitants and their planet... while others were barely explored at all. Baby Saga - 100% disagree. Cell had a nice mystery to him, but most of the relevant information we got was him literally just... telling us. Baby's build up was gradual, the heroes kept encountering him and each time he appeared, he became more and more dangerous. We even saw his gradual takeover from Earth and felt the tension of when Goku and Co. Arrived to an affected world. Baby Saga had some issues, but Baby himself was done amazingly. We also had like... no idea how SSJ4 looked like. We barely got information. UI is the same. Most of UI's build-up was done in TOP. The anime had like... one or two scenes prior to kinda hint at it. When I first watched GT, I did not expect SSJ4. I assumed Golden Great Ape was the peak, especially since it was cooking Baby. I don't really have much issue with the Saga. Outside of Majuub meaning jack squat... Super 17 - Every issue is the pacings fault. I hate how the characters barely did much outside of Goku. And the whole hell segment was... ehh. Shadow Dragon Saga - Mostly agree. 7 Dragons, really wish each was handled by a different character. There's already a power hierarchy, with Haze being weaker than Base Goku (for example), so they could've easily had other characters team up against five shadow dragons while Goku fought Nouva.

[@teeboz6237]

I highly disagree with your Cell assertion simply due to he didn't just say what he did. There were driving factors behind it. The biggest exposition we get from him is how it is simply because Piccolo tricked him into divulging the info. And this was after we didn't know who he was, why Kami was so scared, why he could use the Kamehameha and why he had others ki. It was done very well and gave the audience what they needed and then went from there. It's like "oh hey guys, we've got to stop this thing before he gets to absorb the androids." THEN the arc really kicks off. Honestly, blame it on the editors shaming 17 through 20 but Cell's exposition was well handled in my opinion. I also disagree with the UI comparison to the SSJ4 handling. UI was foreshadowed since the FnF movie and Whis gave explanations from there to the ToP but never said how to achieve it. We didn't even know if Goku would. SSJ4 was literally their end goal so we knew it would be achieved by Goku.

[@Wutizgoing]

@humanman9920 You're right about the Baby Saga, to an extent. The issue isn't that Majuub did NOTHING. It's that in the grand scheme of things, he was underwhelming. Baby Saga had him do very little. He had about two scenarios for himself, and while they were pleasant, he ultimately fell back. I can excuse the Baby Saga because he at least put on a solid fight. I draw the line in the Shadow Dragon Saga. I'm genuinely hunting for his scene, and the best I got was him putting Omega in a full Nelson for a few seconds before, once again, being sidelined. Majuub peaked in the Baby Saga and fell off soon after. Which is, again, a story problem/powerscaling problem because he HAD the ability to shine in the Shadow Dragon Saga, but all the screen time was given to Goku and Pan. (Do not talk to me about downplaying because I am the 1% who believes GT can stand up to Super)

[@harbour08]

I think GT going back to kid goku was weird because in the west it wasnt nostalgia since we got dragonball after Z

[@bowmaj8666]

When I was first getting into Dragon Ball, that always confused me. Since here in the West we got the different Dragon Ball series in a bizarre order (Z, GT, and THEN the original DB) I was really struggling to understand what the heck was going on. And because I wasn't watching it religiously, and because there was so much content, there were a lot of things that I missed. Case in point, and I'm going to sound like a complete idiot here, when I first got into the series, I wasn't aware that Saiyans had Monkey Tails. I missed the episode of GT where Goku got his Tail pulled out, so I had absolutely no idea why he suddenly had a Tail. I just knew that it had something to do with his Super Saiyan 4 transformation. Then when I saw the advertisements for Dragon Ball, I originally thought that it was continuing on from GT. Heck, even when GT was first announced, I thought that Goku was Goten, and that he was going to be the main character. Man, the fact that I got into this series in the first place is a miracle.

[@treymykel]

Exactly that's why keep trying to tell people I was like the reason why a lot of American fans always want to crap on GT is because a lot of people didn't watch dragon Ball until after dragon Ball Z and by the time dragon Ball Z ended they want to show you dragon Ball and GT at the same time and a lot of people kind of didn't watch dragon Ball a lot of people in America when you talk to him they don't remember anything from dragon Ball Harley but they can tell you everything about dragon Ball Z Super and GT and it's just like well if you guys aren't even going to try to understand what dragon Ball is of course it's going to look jarring when Goku's a kid again when a lot of times a lot of people from America don't even know that it was Akira Toriyama idea to make Goku a chilf again

[@mtownboi4ya]

The interactions between 17 and 18 was the highlight, for me

[@justinsden]

I completely agree with your thoughts on the Black Star Dragon Ball Saga. It has a lot of potential, and I don’t think its as bad as many people make it out to be, but there are so many inconsistencies that made a serious mission like saving the Earth from detonation seem less important. Also, Pan was intolerable throughout it as nobody checked her on the danger she constantly put herself and everyone else in. Im gonna finish this video once I finish rewatching/scripting the rest of GT for future summaries, but I like your channel. Keep up the great work! 💯🔥

While a big role of Pan is to be intolerable, at some point (actually, a very specific episode which you may know) it would have been perfect to have Goku, or even Trunks if they feel like a serious Goku would be inconsistent here or whatever, to say what needs to be said to her. It is like grandpas to let their granddaughters do whatever, but I dont see how Trunks tolerated it, given his disposition. Isnt he head of Capsule Corp in GT?

[@humanman9920]

​@@thelightspeeddash6329Tell her what ? Dismiss her like a kid that he already was which only ever made her cause more trouble in trying to prove herself ? How much harm was it gonna do taking a little time and energy to just make her feel a part of things and feel like contributing to something when she said she wanted to ? His arc was running from his responsibilities passed down to him by his parent but learn to step up and do what needs to be done when stuck with two kids one too carefree and one too enthusiastic while being naive and inexperienced for their own good . In the beginning he just flew away from the window leaving stuff to his employees . Why would he continue treating Pan the same way when he saw her ready to give up , giving her a push towards running from responsibilities too like he did ? He encouraged her to continue on the journey and for what it's worth that was the right decision , that stubborn nature and persistence to keep trying is what saved Goku from dying as a golden ozaru later when he was attacking her and baby was soon about to be back with the same form to finish him, or save him again by distracting baby later till Trunks and others arrived , or save Vegeta by stalling Super 17 taking a more smart approach of taking Gero hostage , later overwhelm oceanus stopping her attack after figuring out the way to beat her when Goku was getting rekt . So no both characters have their little arcs they aren't just simply this position and a kid and act just according to that from the start .

[@humanman9920]

• Black star db saga - I never had much issue with its tone, its dragon ball's unique charm creating goofy comedic scenes in the midst of some serious fights or characters being casual around way weaker ones , it's set up well in the first episode when Goku is shown just taking it easy and enjoying life not instantly showing urgency to fix any problems , it just seems natural that he takes it easy whenever something doesn't pose much of a threat , and when it does the tone gets more serious as it should , only problem it had was a couple episodes having these specific scenes with slow pacing which got boring , but most of it was fun with some cool character interactions , growth showing on each other and a couple cool fights . • Baby Saga - That's false equivalence , the scene u show just reveals Baby is a tsufurujin but nothing about his specific origin , he explains this later after sneaking into Vegeta's body and he's very much shocked . I don't understand why something as simple as regrowing his tail to bring out his dormant saiyan potential when the need arised , requires some foreshadowing , it came up when there wasn't any other option in sight for Goku to get stronger and just made sense since he was a kid again , foreshadowing can be used on a lot of stuff to make things a bit more cooler , but doesn't mean everything requires it and it's a problem to not have it . Elder kai just had an understanding of what the powerup would be calling it super saiyan 4 but he didn't go into any sort of detail about it so i don't understand how u say that like the reveal was simply spoiled , he just said if Goku could control his power he would become ssj4 and that's what he intended to do with the training but because they had to force his tail out and stop the training stuff went off the rails and now they had a mindless beast on their hands this wasn't how it was supposed to go , he just established a direction in what to aim for but he himself had no idea how to get there and only had a precautionary measure in mind cutting his tail to return his rationality having it as the last resort cuz then he wouldn't be able to beat Baby , so there was suspense and the process happened in an interesting , fitting and unexpected way finally bringing ssj4 in the picture . So he literally just spoiled the name which is the most generic thing ever that anyone would naturally come up with but didn't reveal anything about the form specifically not even that it'd have a smaller humanoid shape , it worked as a fine tease only increasing interest and suspense about how and when it was gonna happen . Almost nothing would be taken away from UI either if its name was teased in a similar fashion by establishing the mental state Goku needed to achieve for it . See u also mention stuff like " look , method " in comparison with UI while we did not know at all what Ssj4 was gonna look like either , and when u're comparing it to UI the more fair comparison is doing it with mastered version , as ssj4 is the mastered version of golden ozaru stage which came before it , and in that it was very well established how UI Goku was gonna get stronger and the reveal did not have a very unexpected element like at the time of ssj4. And then we can compare the initial stage too where golden ozaru was not expected at all , old kai just pulled out Goku's tail to bring out his dormant saiyan power which just didn't work as expected with Baby stating Goku hadn't gotten stronger at all even though the tail seemed to have fixed his stamina issue , with Old kai himself being confused . It was absolutely epic how that transformation started . This comes off as u already knowing what ssj4 is and then later forming this thought that just the name tease in that one line really damages the reveal or something , when it really just builds interest more than anything . • Super 17 arc - This is THE one bad arc of GT , but nope it's still clear cut not the worst of dragon ball , that spot goes to RoF if we're ignoring Copy Vegeta because its barely even worth remembering down to the concept . RoF has the nostalgia baiting with a generic revenge plot but it's even more repetitive for being the 3rd time of Frieza and with more nonsensical lazy asspulls than Super 17 arc. Also this thing about Baby not coming back , he's a parasite made out of completely artificial material with the inserted genes of king tsufuru in the end , so he shouldn't have a soul he doesn't have any naturally came into existence living material . • Shadow dragon arc - Not at all , Baby arc is clear cut the best of GT and one of the best stories in dragon ball . An interesting plot from the start developing more and more with Baby's backstory and journey to power while his mental state gets more unstable and unpredictable , putting Goku through pretty much the greatest test which transitions into ssj4 with the best narrative for a transformation while being most fitting for Goku perfectly placed in this arc to make such a good play on love vs hate , it had the hyping up of and giving their moments to the side characters in fights , the kais very involved and carrying , making Uub strongest at one point , Pan's persistence becoming the final push for the ssj4 , and everyone coming together in the end to beat Baby in the end , it brings plenty of stuff full circle in a very fitting way . Only story i'd put on the same level overall is Frieza saga . Shadow dragon arc had the cool themes going on with nature itself helping the good guys in the fights with a second chance and them taking good advantage of that to win but it just felt less polished and also didn't have involvement of much side characters before the ending few episodes . There is no moment in GT where Goku doesn't feel like himself , instead he only mostly feels like himself with a naturally more developed and experienced side which never comes off forced or anything , best version of Goku . This video implies dragon ball super does a better job at storytelling with Toriyama's involvement being till the end , i don't know exactly the way he had been involved , but either way , super was not it , the concepts of the story are not great by themselves and the depth in execution reaches shadow dragon saga level at its best , with dumbing down Goku to an unnecessary extent sometimes for plot convenience and sometimes just to make him the clown of a joke , straight regression moments from Vegeta like not giving him any spirit energy for spirit bomb while knowing the universe is at stake and later saying " arrogance is my pride " to Jiren with a straight face , Gohan still quitting training even after Buu saga , the introduction of as much of a nothing character like Zeno as the supreme authority already not being enough that he's made to direct meddle with the climax of an arc to turn it into a joke , the transformations aren't at fault for not matching ssj4 cuz u literally can't do saiyan forms and especially Goku better than it has , but they aren't even good in their own right . This recycled ssj lore for ssjg with a very lazy way of achievement which is getting even more common the more the series progresses , ssjb being just achieved off screen with it and UI both not following their own logic after being built up to be states that get stronger the calmer they are and remove all thoughts outside the fight still get stronger with a rage boost like any good ole ssj , ssj2 rehash but " rage " and with blue aura , no arc is as good storywise as baby arc , all it has is good animation peaks with modern animation . Like GT was mid if i gave it an average yet it's the best dragon ball series that came out after z , it's not some perfect masterpiece but it does land its meanings hard a good amount of times while being decently entertaining most of the time . Saying GT's ending would be just as good with Z is a pretty wild thing to say , considering Buu had nothing to do with Goku at all , while both Super 17 and shadow dragons had everything to do with him , they built up him being the centre of problems well and shadow dragon arc tying this way back to the problems having started with og dragon ball just made sense with Goku agreeing to depart from earth after having contributed a lot in this even if unintentionally . There's no GT ending without shadow dragon arc , and Super 17 wasn't good but it did do one part well being a prelude to shadow dragon arc bringing Gero and Mu to get revenge on Goku while showing the dragon balls getting cracked throughout it caused by the unstability they brought , didn't overstay its welcome and at least did something right working well as a set up .

I actually hate UI. Anyone who is stronger can still easily hit Goku.... not even that simply being close in power already lets people easily hit Goku(at first it was auto dodge and it was cool but later anyone and everyone started destroying it). Which made the whole concept pointless and now it's just a power up essentially. But also this whole idea was dumb to begin with, Goku was learning to dodge on instinct even in db, then came ki sense that allowed to see and feel without actually seeing so you could dodge before attack goes through, then also Goku bragging how he can sense feelings and intent and feel changes in pressure so he can avoid things without seeing or knowing where they are coming from. Then came super and now Goku forgot he could already do things similar to UI. And not only that other shows were already using this same concept before dbs like observation haki in OP and precong in Naruto. UI was also not in AT original script so TOEI and Toyotaro just created something that looks cool but if you think about it, they just made Goku look dumber by creating UI.

But since Toyotaro put fusion into previous saga(so did dbs anime) TOEI thought it will be underwhelming if they don't rise the level of opponents, they made jiren strong and asked AT to create a new form.

​@@AstraFulminous Absolutely not . Gohan didn't want to hurt Goten yet he schooled him in base form and only even got baited into turning ssj when Baby Goten was about to do final explosion and " destroy everything " . And Gohan is the only one who i wanted a bit more from because he's Gohan of course , rest of the characters already did good as they were , ik its popular to gaslight all GT characters into nothingness but that's far from facts . Goten and Trunks are easily the best version of themselves any day of the week from every angle . Vegeta even with the less screen time never got this much respected not just in character development but power wise too , being explicitly established the strongest in the beginning then , going back to the second spot as always in Super 17 arc but still having grown being easily stronger than Majuub there , and catching up not only to the form ssj4 in shadow dragon arc after the extra intense training but specifically to Goku's level which was actually increased by a mile a few episodes earlier , fighting Omega on par with him and catching him off guard a couple times , being explicitly stated equally strong as Goku in GT Perfect Files , makes sense why Bulma said Vegeta could even surpass ssj4 cuz at that time Goku hadn't gotten increased full power with others help , Vegeta got there on his own training . Uub being the absolute MVP in baby arc right behind Goku being by far the strongest at one point giving Super baby 2 a run for his money then coming back by reversing the chocolate beam which Buu never could revealing he got hit by it deliberately in the first place to wait and strike at the right moment , saving everyone from getting rekt while trying to restore ssj4 Goku's power and holding off Golden ozaru Baby long enough , coming back in shadow dragon arc again holding off Syn shenron long enough for Goku to get increased full power ssj4 . 18 being important once again , Piccolo being brought back up even with the less screentime doing sh*t everytime he showed up instead of being the babysitter joke like in Buu saga who got humiliated on even the things he could control . Pan not only beating one of the sigma force members after rage awakening who earlier a holding back Goku had trouble hitting because he had adapted all their past battle data , but beating one of the shadow dragons later when Goku was endlessly getting rekt by Oceanus . Nobody failed nothing except Gohan to some extent . He should've done a bit more shadow dragon arc and that would've been perfect , cuz everyone got their moments in baby arc including him and his personality with the level headedness he showed throughout the show was handled perfectly . The most goated out of them was Vegeta catching upto Goku again in the end after directly establishing he was still gonna get stronger and see what his limits were without comparing to Goku .

​​​​@@humanman9920Look you can say that to yourself all you want. However most of the time including in the moments you are mentioning the characters are either being: defeated, involved in way too much mind control at cost to them never really overcoming the situation they themselves got within on their own, endimg up stalling for someone else to resolve their challenges instead of actively being ready to try and defeat the opponents themselves. even into the point where, at times they encourage each other not to get involved due to the fear of getting in the way even though they could really use all the help they could. And only doubling back afterwards. Which either path could have been a staple if the actions themselves weren't also being nullified by a lack of greater impact to the villian's goal plus their own and also at times very the allies they are working to assist, due to them not actively using the opportunities given to them more effectively to begin with. And also existed alongside the various thematic loses they also ended up taking in an addition to all of the other problems they faced. Its a sad sight. You feel bad to see it.

this is a lie and you clearly got confused with super. toriyama has actually stated what his involvement with gt was. and no character feels any more developed in gt than super because no character other than goku gets any character time in the show, and he explicitly has not changed and in fact regressed. the most you get is vegeta who is the exact same as super vegeta except worse because he gave up doing anything but gets ssj4 for literally nothing unlike super vegeta who forces himself to keep up with goku and earns everything he is given

[@Animus120]

Well, all you said is true. GT is not a perfect Dragon Ball, but personally I don't hate this series. There was some really memorable and awesome moments in GT, but also there was some really annoying moments as well. For me GT is maybe like 5/10, where DBZ was 9/10 and DB was 7/10. I must say that I'm a part of Dragon Ball community that likes GT more then DBS. For me DBS is like 3/10. I also recommend watching Dragon Ball entirely in Japanese (with subtitles), as the English and other language versions are not 100% faithful to the original and change the sense of some dialogs.

[@humanman9920]

He said some true stuff about shadow dragons and Super 17 but he got a lotta stuff wrong overall which i've corrected in my main comment . Also emphasising that dragon ball super is clear cut worse in terms of story and writing .

[@shoresean1237]

For me, the biggest problem was the Black Stars themselves. They were a nest of plotholes. Never detected or sensed before. No past Guardians harassing Pilaf. King Piccolo having to be told by Pilaf back when that Dragonballs even exist, when he would have been there for the BS. How would anyone know what they do unless they were used centuries ago, when no Earthling would have been able to fetch them back? As the Batman Forever meme goes, it just raises too many questions.

[@TheMissingLink2]

I can answer many of your issues: 1. Dragonballs are detected due to the frequency they admit while active. One can very easily assume no one detected the Black Star ones for one of two reasons: A) the frequency they broadcast on was never searched for dragonballs (which is 100% possible. How do you know to look for something if you don't know they exist. Afterall, both Piccolo and Mr. Popo completely forgot they even existed). Or B) the tomb they were hidden in magically sealed them from the rest of the world. It's not crazy or impossible. I've always assumed the crypt they were in did this. 2.The Black Star balls were created by The Nameless Namekain, who WAS NOT a guardian at the time. He did not become guardian until he split into Kami and Piccolo. No past Earth Guardian knew of or even seen Dragonballs before that point. And since then, only Kami and Dende have been guardians. Beyond this, there's even more rationale as to why neither of them knew about the dragonballs. Dende, doesn't know everything about the lookout or what's there. And Kami/Piccolo have been shown to be pretty forgetful over the years. The Black Star balls were created at a minimum of 350 years before the events of GT happen (and a max of 500). That's plenty of centuries to forget you made those things, especially when you've made multiple sets. Moreover, the memory of creating the Black Star balls could have easily died with King Piccolo, as it has been shown that despite having a link, Kami and Piccolo (and King Piccolo) can have thoughts and memories the other does not. The balls became inactive when the Nameless Namakian split, so there's no reason for him to ever think or care about those dragonballs. 3. King Kai was THE ONLY one who knew what the Black Star balls did. He knows about Namekians and has been observing them hundreds of thousands of years minimum, maybe even millions. Black Star balls could have easily appeared before. And if not, he literally watches over the sector of the universe where all this stuff just happened. He's a god that has senses and has understanding of things mortals do not. He informed the Z fighters about the negative energy, the destruction countdown and the balls scattering around the galaxy. That's how they found out. Until that point, they thought they had just scattered around the planet like the other set. The only thing that is questionable and does not have an explanation is how Emperor Pilaf knew about the balls. It's never explained. But then again, I don't think it was ever explained how Bulma knew of the dragonballs in OG dragonball either. Nor was it explained how she figured out they had frequencies or how she made the radar to detect those specific frequencies. So while it is a plothole, it's more of a pit hole. Because while no explanation is ever given, it doesn't take away from the plot.

[@shoresean1237]

@@TheMissingLink2 In the first GT ep, Pilaf has some dusty document he found/stole which reveals the story of the Black Stars. That raises the issue of who made this document when only Kami, his mentor Guardian/predecessor and maybe Garlic Sr. would have been present when they were about. I mean, this was a super-secret variant of something most thought a legend. As to early Bulma and Pilaf from OG DB, the legend at least was well known. Bulma could have fashioned her radar by setting it to detect power-radiating orbs (after checking a ton of alternate frequencies) matching the size and shape of the legend's descriptions. Probably once she found even one, she could refine it to be even more precise.

You say goku in GT didn’t act like goku, but imo this goku was represented better in GT than super. Yes, he’s a kid throughout the show which he sounds and acts like it wasn’t obviously, but he still act like an older mature grown man. I mean he was with his nephew and granddaughter majority of the time and we know how goku acts around kids compared to vegeta who’s stern and a little aggressive. Goku on the other hand wouldn’t hurt a fly, which show his kindness towards friends especially family members. Then when he becomes ssj4 you can see his acts of being a grown man come out. He’s 50yrs to nearly 60yrs old who knows his responsibility, and acts very wise when it counts. He’s a grandfather who supposed to be a leader of a clan or a leader in general for the family which makes him reliable for many things y’know. These characters traits of maturity is something I can’t see in super goku. Again, what I’m saying is my personal opinion and I was just expressing my thoughts lol.

GT had a good ideas but the execution was shoddy . they knew how to start a saga and how to end it.

It was able to acknowledge both Dragon ball and Z and incorporate them into GT.

[@matheusrocha1184]

I know GT has a lot of problems, and I agree with you, it's no way near as good as the original. But are you saying that there are moments where Goku didn't seem like Goku? That's absolutely bullshit. Goku in GT is mature, which makes total sense, it's 15 years after the defeat of Majin Buu, c'mon. He still has his Goku moments, but he's more mature, and he knows when he needs to be serious. He's totally different from Super's Clownku, which is exactly the reason why I think Super is even worse than GT. At least they didn't turn Goku into a brainless monkey who only knows how to fight (I mean, sometimes he forgets even that, especially in the manga)

GT...is not great lol. It is undoubtedly the most flawed series overall and it had the most promise post Z. When you can remove almost 2 entire arcs out of 4 and have the same story, that's a sign it is majorly flawed. And Super also has the best animation of a DB series of all time in the ToP. Sure, some parts are crappy but Z and GT both had that too. That's what they get for forcing animators to do like 10 months of work in half the time. The Super manga is also much better than the anime.

The tone is lighthearted, goku was a master by this point and was a joyride for the japanese audience which aired and finalized in 95 i believe. Dragonball had become well established and found its way into a status that it could be GT. GT is a hybrid of Dragonball from its early concepts of fun adventure (black star saga) and Z elements when the main villains came through. Each saga being a homage and reflection of the Franchise. Grand Tour .. let those words resonate. Theres a reason its beloved in Japan and held high that it always comes up in their Ip (heroes, cardass). We cant be judgemental with our english dub lenses. Understand the decade of its release, the targeted audience and it becomes apparent this is kinda dumb coming from not having context of being a native japanese fan from the its original broadcasting of db,Z. And GT

[@ronniedweetno891]

Hold up hold up. Very nice video my bro but I will not let you get away with 4:25, Goku having his tail was well established I'm DB that as a Kid every he had his tail he was stronger and when he didn't he was nerfed. They were clearly out of options in the Baby fight and just used it as desperate measure that might help just be all clear. The context is that alot of persons who watched GT never watched Z but OG DB back in the 2000s so the downgrade in tone angering fans in the beginning was understandable and i myself agree that the black star saga was boring come off the Z hype train. GT used alot OG DB elements so viewers definitely have to be careful watching. Not a direct build up but not lackluster.

Just wanted to add another post: So once there was a long-running well-loved show with a ton of ups and downs, drama and plenty of innuendo, the humor being especially strong in its earliest days. It ran over 250 eps, and its finale was both satisfying, yet off-putting, and had some sense of 'The Adventure Continues'. Knowing a good thing, the network created a follow-up show focused on three of the main characters - and it sputtered, having only a fraction of the eps of the parent show. The first arc was strong with some flaws, but the following ones tried to revert to the parent show's wackiest early days, and rapidly lost the thread, with heretofore unknown side characters taking up a lot of the oxygen in the room. Okay, by now you know I'm not talking about DB/Z/GT. The shows in question are M*A*S*H* and its almost forgotten spin-off, AfterMASH. So DB is not the first to experience this fall-off. Like GT, AfterMASH is regarded by its fandom as weak rushed DLC, despite again, some strengths. It's available on YT for the curious.

My problem with GT is that the elder Kai told Goku how to achieve SSJ4. How would a Kai know about a super saiyan transformation that never existed prio? Supreme kai and Kibito were previously surprised as SSJ2. On top of that, the elder kai had given Gohan a power that didn't require a SSJ transformation at all, why would he be interested in moving transformations forward when he's previously shown that he prefers power without transforming? On top of that, SSJ4 doesn't make sense. It looks completely different to the other SSJ transformations, would have made more sense if it had a different name and different transformation path like SSJ god in super. 'Primal SSJ' would have been a better suited name. I get that SSJ4 is popular, but to me it always felt like a fanmade cash grab.

Right after taking over Goten's body saying he can beat Goku with Vegeta's and right after taking over Vegeta saying he has obtained the strongest body in the universe ? Ssj3 Goku gets bullied by Ssj Baby Vegeta. In Super 17 arc it returns to the usual as all of dragon ball has it , with Vegeta putting up the second best fight at his strongest making Super 17 not so confident anymore in tanking his attacks and still almost getting hit by Vegeta , almost . Goku throwing him around the world after landing a punch in ssj then getting dominated too . Although even in that he did get a boost for being clearly stronger than Majuub who had given Super baby 2 a run for his money ( Super baby 2 being stated resembling ssj3 ). In shadow dragon arc after the crazy training he's shown doing Bulma states Vegeta might even surpass Ssj4 . When he finally comes to the battlefield he doesn't only achieve Ssj4 but fights Omega shenron on par with Ssj4 Goku catching him off guard a couple times although generally outclassed like Goku was too , in GT Perfect Files being explicitly stated as strong as Goku ssj4 . And this being after Goku had increased his full power in ssj4 by a lot with the help of others a few episodes earlier , which makes sense with the fact that before that Bulma had said Vegeta could surpass ssj4 , Goku had to get stronger taking everyone else's energy to be as strong as what Vegeta became by himself and matched Goku's latest stage . This is like the most respect he's been given in terms of power levels , he was an equal to Goku's final ssj4 . Ik the screentime and involvement by some other characters including Vegeta was less in black star db arc and shadow dragon arc , but Vegeta got absolutely more respect in power levels and forms than he was given in dbz . Bro literally stayed behind Goku the whole series after his ssj and even in the end was left in the dust with ssj2 not even getting the latest form let alone catch up to Goku's level . In GT , he was strongest in the beginning , he got surpassed in the middle and caught up again in the end with the latest form .

GT is quite easily made better. Have the initial wish be something else but the stakes the same. Have either just Goku and Vegeta go to space to give their relationship more development like how they have in Super or have most of the side characters and yes, I would include Bulma in there go to space. With characters like Bulma they could easily have hostage situations or kidnappings and forcing her to work on some universe ending weapon or something. Keep the tone mainly more serious with light gags here and there and have them gathering all the DB's which transitions into the Baby arc. Have more interactions with Baby and the Saiyans and like you said, don't have Vegeta being a d**k about it. He's come all this way just to mock someone he knows is out for revenge because his people slaughtered his people. This is again, something Super did right with Vegeta and Granolahs interactions. FORESHADOW SSJ4. It doesn't even make sense as Goku should have just gone regular Oozaru so fix that too. Even have him as a SSJ when he transforms, it's that easy. Skip the Super 17 arc entirely and even have the Shadow dragon arc kick off with a peaceful time and something drastic happens that they need the DBs to fix. Maybe something they don't even have a hand in but maybe they did, like there were remnants of Baby that fell to earth and made people sick or something but it's irreversible. Even though he's dead his body itself is toxic to humans. This way you have an event that kickstarts the DBs being overused while having a small spell that includes a past enemy and ushers in a new one. Spend more time on the dragons themselves. Have Vegeta have his moment to transform in the same way Goku did or similar and make it emotional. Even have Goku unable to continue fighting and Vegeta picking up the slack. You can have Dende heal Goku and that's when fusion comes in because all hope is lost. Have Gogeta weaken Omega to the point it's just back and forth and then he puts Goku down leading the Genki Dama. Vegeta could even distract Omega while it's being charged instead of having that power a$$pull out of nowhere. Now THAT sounds like a series I would watch. Those 7 Super 17 episodes can go to the shadow dragon arc to establish their character.

[@Lucasfan375]

The only things I like about GT is the baby saga. That was the best part of the show. And super Saiyan 4 I guess. But, I don't like the rest. Goku has too many moments of glory and the side characters are just there. At least in super, the side characters gained new forms. But, no Gotenks (excluding the fat form) whatsoever. GT didn't even try the Gotenks form. Pan was extremely annoying and GT had more dumber moments in it than super. It's funny how people praise this anime, when super treated other characters better. But, I can't deny that Goku was stupid in super. But, Goku turning into a child again was just as stupid.

[@SuperJayain]

You can only criticise this show's characters if you watch it Subbed. Like Z the show is dubbed terribly and the sound track change was not as bad a the crap American rock synth soundtrack for Z but it's pretty bad in GT too. GT Subbed is fine In my opinion and character's actually act more like themselves and their progression is more consistent than Dragon Ball Super.

@@humanman9920 The android and cell saga are not split. They are only “split” in terms of what they’re called in order to differentiate them. If we’re talking TIMELINE and in universe wise they are not actually separate from each other in the slightest. The black star arc legitimately was it’s own thing, baby was something entirely different too.

[@ogge9304]

you say GT lacks involvement from Toriyama, but Super suffers so much from that than GT. GT has interesting ideas and concepts, it builds upon the lore in DBZ such as SSJ4, Golden Ozaru, the savagery of the Saiyans, the overuse of Dragon Balls etc. and then we have Super, that slaps a new colour onto Super Saiyan every chapter and gives it a new name. it breaks DBZ lore, ruins characters and doesn't really add anything interesting, just filler. at least GT looks the part - the style is the continuation of DBZ. Super looks like ass and has no resemblance of Toriyama's style. L video take

[@TheHuskyGT]

I've always had mixed feelings for GT since it aired. I started by liking it, then hating it for many years. As of now, I've made my peace with it and take it for what it is. A non-canon Dragon Ball-inspired series. GT had good things, but often ended up underachieving by bad pacing, lack of depth, and weird plot points. Goku becoming a kid was the major downside of GT. Then you have the boring first quarter of the show, followed by an amazing storyline with the Baby saga, that was unfortunately cut short. Then is the Super 17 saga. The only good thing about Super 17 was his character design. The whole thing would've been better off as a movie. By the Dragon saga, I'm just tired. The ending was great though. GT has great things, like SSJ4, even though it could've used a bit more depth in its origin. Also, the magic clothes kind of suck, to be honest. By now, Bulma should've made super stretchy suits that don't rip, just like the Saiyan Armor. Baby had so much potential, and I feel it should be retconed in Super at one point. For now, I will go with the multiverse explanation. GT happened in another universe. It's a cheap way out, but one that justifies its existence.

[@bobdole7451]

I couldn't make it past two episodes of GT. Pan was just way too annoying.

[@robertjohnston7256]

The real problem with gt, it shouldn't exist

[@immortalorigins9446]

I always liked GT from an idea and nostalgia perspective. The show had unique concepts and designs (the "Dragon balls" being the final main villain was very poetic in my view) but in the end the Show failed on executing said ideas. Some points I always think that were very wasted/missing: The Black Star Saga: Goten should have went with them, which in turn would allow more moments for a team up with Trunks and a maybe see Adult Gotenks. Pan should have went Super Saiyan in the fight against the Sigma Force Baby Saga: We agree it's the most fleshed out arc but two of my main complains are: The lack of background information/foreshadow for SSj4 like you mentioned. Piccolo neither a bigger role in this arc to make his self sacrifice at the end weight more besides focusing on previous character nostalgia. Super 17 Saga: Just scratch the idea of the villains being able to create an android out of nothing in hell with no explanation...Instead the accumulation of evil energy in Hell reacts with the accumulation of evil energy in the Drago balls (foreshadow the upcoming arc) which opens a rift between Hell and the living and the previous villains show up. We could have a have an epic fight with Goku and Vegeta teaming up to fight Cell and Frieza. In a way, this could take ideas from the opening of Drago Ball GT final bout ^^> Maybe we could have Piccolo come back? I will explain later... Also, we don't kill Krillin although I loved the strange team up with 18 and Goku... Shadow Dragon Saga: The most simple idea... Instead of having Goku and Pan tackle all the Dragons, lets divide teams to tackle the Dragons... Goku should fight Nouva no matter what and Uub comes to assist him when Eis Shenron shows up. I think this fight would have a lot of Potential Goten and Trunks could team up to fight Oceanus? Pan and Giru could fight another one...maybe Haze? Pan could unlock SSJ2 in this battle OR even have Bra help her out? Rage Shenron could be a nice opponent for a good team up with 18 and Krillin... Naturon Shenron would be taken care of by Gohan and Piccolo if Piccolo came back, Naturon would then absorb Piccolo and we would get the same emotional fight scene. Syn Shenron would show up in West City to fight Vegeta who would be no match for him and is saved by Goku who goes SSJ4 causing Vegeta to question himself on how to achieve that form...He then remembers the bultz waves and talks to bulma about it. He then achieves ssj4 to help goku with Syn shenron who should be Omega Shenron by now The end of GT would play out the same. Any comments on these ideas?

[@treymykel]

I'm so sick of everybody in the same nonsense with GT about all the tone wasn't consistent or whatever have you watch dragon Ball Z the tone wasn't consistent in dragon Ball Z e either and you really want to talk about tone not being consistent and super look at super super is all over the goddamn place but we're tough on GT because it was trying to go back to what dragon Ball was about a grand adventure to have fun and search for the dragon balls The reason why Goku and them wasn't worried because they knew they were going to succeed You have to remember this takes place years after the events of everything that happened in dragon Ball Z so why would Goku and his friends be worried that they wouldn't be able to get the dragon balls in time That's why was so laid back because it was supposed to be a fun little saga to show like hey let's get back to what dragon balls was about let's have some fun That's why things weren't as serious because it didn't need to be That's why you have the serious tone change later when they did find a dragon balls and on the way you didn't think that Goku and his friends were going to find something that would affect them that would affect Earth that would affect the rest of the soccer Yeah that's the whole point it was a foundation piece that led into more there was nothing really wrong with what does Black Star dragon Ball did My only issue really is not having Goten there that that should have been there it should have been a four-man team instead of a three-man team Go team should have been there you know And honestly the Super 17 saga should have been longer and the fights with the sayings against baby should have been longer and honestly they probably should have put one more arc after the Super 17 ark before the black star dragon Ball ark and not letting go 10 and trunks fuse was probably a issue but overall GT had some of the best things going for it it really captured the spirit of dragon Ball and dragon Ball Z and it really like gave you a conclusion to the dragon Ball franchise which is what we really needed we didn't really need to constantly keep going we didn't need more power ups or different hair color changes like we got now so honestly GT is a perfect blend of all three franchises blended together a little too short if you ask me and not making a manga was another issue but other than that I think GT is pretty fine it's way better than super definitely tell you that

[@warrenbradford2597]

GT should have either wait for Toriyama to come out retirement first or just get a fan of Dragon Ball involved to know what it needs to be successful. I prefer and recommend the latter, of course.

[@humanman9920]

Idk fans go too much into what if level stuff with fanservice that it compromises story . I'm glad we have the peak baby arc and the decent shadow dragon arc , baby arc literally doesn't need anything except longer fights and i don't exactly trust some random fan to not overdo fanservice in shadow dragon arc and focus on making a polished story with good depth .

[@Ezel_142]

GT's missed potential is why I'm interested in Daima personally. Despite its issues, Toriyama admired a lot of things in GT, and even Super borrowed a few things inspired by it, but with how Daima is built, I wouldn't be surprised if he explored ideas on his own, as he's done that multiple times with non-canon material. I hope that one day stuff like the Shadow Dragons or exploring the Tuffle race is gonna be expanded on in future DB material.

[@yamucha]

GT is trash, Pan ruined it for me along with Goku beating everyone and noone else got stronger or had a transformation. Say what u will about Super but we got Gohan Beast, O Piccolo, Ultra Ergo and Yamcha finally fighting again.

[@OurKindofEntertainment]

GT also felt like I was watching Power Rangers. What do I mean by this? Well, you know how sometimes it's a bit annoying when the rangers would fight villains in civilian form to fill up an episode's time slot, but you just wish they'd morph instead? That's how it felt watching most of GT when Trunks, Goku or whoever just didn't go Super Saiyan (or greater) from the start! Remember how Luud (Level 2) had Goku & Trunks on the run, but they went SS after getting stomped on and flipped the robo baby on its behind? Then for some reason, they revert back to base and just start kicking it over and over. Then after absorbing Pan, it gets to Level 3 and is WAY stronger. Yet, the boys still don't go Super Saiyan... WTF?!

[@humanman9920]

" but u just wish " but that's ur weird expectations right ? Everything shouldn't be about power levels and they shouldn't run crying to their transformations at the first sight of trouble . They did use it when needed to against Luud , that still wasn't doing anything permanent and Luud was pretty much indestructible so they just saved their stamina as they should .

[@tastytucker981]

Super was a way bigger disappointment than GT imo. Super 17 arc sucked but i'd take that over the copy Vegeta arc any day which is a similar length to super 17. GT has the baby arc and the second half of the evil dragons arc while Super has no good arcs. Two crappy movie retellings 2 boring ass tournament arcs and the 1 arc in the show with an actual plot made no sense and had the worst end to an arc in DB history. Also the character regression in Super should be a crime lol

Super regresses his character at the beginning, chasing Goku and being arrogant so that he can have the same character arc all over again giving the illusion of character development. And he still hates the idea of fusion against Zamasu. And don't even get me started on Super vs GT Goku lol.

Im kinda confused by your point of ss4’s buildup being bad, your explanation for why UI was good sounded almost verbatim the same as why you said ss4 was bad? Like we didnt know what UI would look like therefore its better while we didnt know what ss4 would look like either the only difference being ss4 was a bit more guaranteed to happen

[@PeterStone-hy6ir]

Right 😂

[@Wizofmincraft]

Ssj4 didn’t have any buildup that’s what’s bad about it, was quite literally an asspull. Ui actually had foreshadowing even if the name wasn’t actually used

[@humanman9920]

​@@Wizofmincraft Aight bet . Ssj4 first of all is the mastered version of Golden ozaru , the dormant saiyan potential was being built up since Old kai brought up pulling Goku's tail out for that . Then there was suspense around Goku still not getting stronger with the tail and losing again , before he expressed his frustration for not being able to protect earth while looking at it and that with the blutz waves coming from earth made the tail react and transformed him into golden ozaru , he rekt baby then lost sight of him destroying things at random , then Old kai said this is what he was worried about saying the training was for him to control his new power , but now they had a mindless beast on their hands and now Goku had to somehow gain back his rationality to become an ssj4 . The whole montage of raging while trying to calm down when he looked at earth but still struggling after the statement from Old kai is what's called build up , foreshadowing is different. UI did not have sh*t for build up at the time of introduction , no movements like that hinted at all , nothing about Goku actively trying to go further than his level by practicing what is the concept of UI , just absorbed a spirit bomb and learned a technique all of a sudden , definition of asspull , only got build up at all for mastered stage . And foreshadowing ? Golden ozaru goes all the way back to dbz when Vegeta talks of ssj , then ssj3 showing a glimpse of ozaru at its introduction implying it was moving closer to that . The dude just gaslighted ssj4's introduction for just the mention of a generic name which only works to build interest and suspense more than anything , then attach stuff like " didn't know what it'd look like , method of achieving it " with other forms . Ssj4 has by far the most buildup in the grand scheme of things , and at the time of introduction it was still better than UI without spoiling what exactly the form is .

[@Wizofmincraft]

@@humanman9920 I’m sorry to tell you but that didn’t change anything, ssj4 still isn’t foreshadowed in the slightest. The golden oozaru isn’t foreshadowing, that was a cool visual thing they used for the ssj3 thing and expanded on for ssj4. Foreshadowing means they did something to hint at a future plot point or event happening, nothing in z foreshadows what happens in gt. Old kai pulling out goku’s tail isn’t foreshadowing either.. he apparently knew it would lead to ssj4 but never said anything about that to goku so when it happened it seemed like a random occurrence. For foreshadowing to work you’d need to actually be able to say “oh this moment was hinting at so and so” like how whis talking about goku and vegeta moving autonomously was a hint at ui. Even if we didn’t know we can look back and say it was foreshadowing. Ssj4 did NOT have a moment like that despite whatever you want to believe. As for saying ui had no buildup that’s just entirely incorrect 💀. The spirit bomb acted as a catalyst for unlocking ui but goku himself was already close to it, that was the entire point of the training. The whole thing whis was building up to for goku and vegeta, which is what he explains when goku uses it in the tournament. Super saiyan 4 legitimately came out of goku’s ass and got a pisspoor attempt to make it seem as if it didn’t. And lastly super saiyan 4 does NOT have the most buildup of all the forms what the hell are you smoking? Ssj literally had a whole arc of foreshadowing, gohan going ssj2 was builtup all the way to the moment it actually happened. God was built up throughout the arc, hell even blue was built up to an extent with the training episode inbetween battle of gods and ressurection f 💀.
